A compelling image for me. Fault Lines in Haiti: Image from NASA’s Earth Observatory.
Posted by: davo in General, Photos, tags: Haiti, Mission Manna7.0 Quake Near Port Au Prince
This image compels me for two reasons.
1. There is nothing so normal as a still ground beneath us. But there are fault lines all over the place in this image! It amazes me how unstable the very ground we walk on can be.
2. The sadness of the Haitian quakes was lessened a little bit for me since the people I know in Haiti were not too directly affected. However, this map shows a fault line very close to the Montrouis region. The region that Mission Manna visits twice a year. (It’s the L shaped line just SW of the word “Haiti” on the map.)
These are more reminders that we are not in control, and we need to make the best of what we have.
We must continue to Consider Haiti.
